Question
What is the best practice for shutting down clustered VMs in AWS?
Answer
If shutting down the primary source node, all cluster roles depending on a SIOS DataKeeper Volume Resource should be placed in the Offline state. Also make sure all mirrors are in the mirroring state prior to shutting down any VM. The node shutdown order does not matter as long as the previous steps have been taken.
